Other advantages: - Hashes can be used as pointers on the network which imply happens-before causality. That is: If a record can point to the hash of the file, and...

Could servers return different data depending on the session-data? That would create a detectable hypercore split, wouldn’t it?

I dont have much to say except I'm +1 the premise and my gut reaction is that hyperdb is the right place for this (not hypercore).

I'd like to have the timestamps personally, but I don't have a pressing need for it *yet*.

I'm currently reviewing the Multi-writer DEP and it's a good example of a data-structure that would be affected by this proposal. The vector clocks currently encode the revisions, and the...

Could an immutable blob which identifies the data structure then use custom headers to identify additional feeds? Then that custom header would be part of the data structure and could...

@tinchoz49 Appreciate you sharing that research. I'm fairly sure that Chrome is pushing for their files APIs to become standard. It might be a good bet in the long run....
